Swing JProgressBar with multiple JLabels below

I have a problem concerning layouts in Swing. I have got a BorderLayout and want to add a JProgressBar with multiple JLabels below in the NORTH section of this layout all aligned horizontal next to each other.

It should look something like this: enter image description here

I already tried various layouts like for example GroupLayout but I couldn't get it to work.

Solution

  • Consider using a second JPanel with a GridLayout...

    setLayout(new BorderLayout());
add(new JProgressBar(), BorderLayout.NORTH);
JPanel panel = new GridLayout(1, 6);
panel.add(new JLabel("Step 1"));
panel.add(new JLabel("Step 2"));
panel.add(new JLabel("Step 3"));
panel.add(new JLabel("Step 4"));
panel.add(new JLabel("Step 5"));
panel.add(new JLabel("Step 6"));
add(panel, BorderLayout.CENTER);

    As an example.
